MAB, I actually saw that video already. Did you post a link to it on FB also? The girls look fine in those outfits. They sell the SONG, NOT their sexuality. The way music should be presented. Just one of the reasons I don't care for pop. Almost all of the female singers try to sell themselves rather than the song. And what about that super bowl show? Not sure I care too much for Beyoncé that much anymore either.
MAB, I'm not sure any of those streaming services have ever claimed to "pay songwriter's royalties". The only claims I've ever seen from them is how much they pay in royalties to record companies and publishers. Maybe they are paying [some] royalties to the PRO's? I don't think those services really understand the music business, and I don't think they care either.
I'm not sure how songwriters even make money these days. UNLESS you are one or the 1% (NO, NOT the 1% politicians talk about LOL) who is lucky enough, good enough, to work directly with the few top artists in the industry??
Oh yes MAB. I saw on FB you were bringing out some of your older songs that have to do with reflecting on life. A tribute to your friend Tommy Turner. And I think a couple other friends of yours
that have left us. If you have any kind of recordings of those songs, would you share them with us in open mic?
